INTRODUCTION. 

In presenting this little volume to 
the people of Fitchburg and vicinity

sires. Abundant provision has been 
made for personal memoranda, and 
the reference matter may be easily 
found by consulting the index. 

It is our purpose to issue another 
edition in the late fall, containing 
the R. R. time tables for the winter.

ments for the Holidays may address
